The woman in black did not continue to walk forward, but leaned against the hot gate that was illuminated by the fiery sun.

The body of the woman in black trembled violently, and the painful expression permeated the cold and pale face, which made people feel a pain in their hearts when they saw it.

However, in those clear eyes, in addition to coldness, there was that deep fortitude and determination. Even the fiery sun could not leave any light or heat in her eyes.

Unscrewed the water bag in her hand, the woman in black poured a few mouthfuls of water, and her chapped lips became slightly rosy.

After resting for a while, the woman in black stood up forcefully, and almost fell down again, if she hadn't bitten her lip and touched the Mengxi pen in her arms strongly, she might have really fallen.

Although the sun is not high in the sky, the endless heat wave in the golden desert does not seem to have abated much. The woman in black struggled forward.

One step, two steps, three steps. The woman in black walked like this. The already thin figure looked even thinner in the black desert.

Soon the woman in black came to a large ruined palace, only to see her walk to an inconspicuous corner, and then slowly crouched down. At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the whole Sands City was hidden in the yellow sand in this violent wind.

A faint thud was heard, but it quickly disappeared again. The wind gradually subsided until there was no trace of it. However, the woman in black just now disappeared.

In addition to the yellow sand blown by the strong wind, covering the footprints of the woman in black, the entire Sands City fell into endless darkness.

"Young palace master. The young palace master was injured. A maid exclaimed.

"Ping'er, go and inform the palace master. The other maid hurriedly said.

"Yes. The maid known as Ping'er hurried to the inner hall.

"Palace Master. Ping'er shouted breathlessly.

"What's wrong. A cold voice came from the mouth of the middle-aged woman sitting in the first place. I saw that this middle-aged woman was wearing a luxurious white loose gown and a jade-colored hairpin, and her appearance was seven points similar to the woman in black.

The middle-aged woman's fingers kept playing with a white scorpion. Then, he quietly placed the scorpion on his snow-white neck. Let the white scorpion roam between her neck and chest.

She is the palace master of the Scorpion Palace, Snow Jade Scorpion, Chen Qingcheng. And the woman in black, who was called the young princess by Ping'er, was Chen Chengcheng's daughter, Zhang Yutong.

"Palace Master. The young palace master was injured. Just when Ping'er finished saying this, Chen Chengcheng had already flown up and came to Zhang Yutong's side in a blink of an eye.

"Tong'er. How are you?" Chen Chengcheng did not have the same indifference as before. However, nothing in this world can make her so flustered except that her daughter can make her so flustered. Of course, neither can that treasure. If it weren't for the fulfillment of her husband's last wish, she would have left this underground palace with Zhang Yutong a long time ago.

However, people in a wealthy family can't help themselves. Even if she has ten thousand reluctances, she must stay here. She loves, and loves her husband Zhang Jingcheng deeply. Whether she succeeds or not, she will try her best. This is why, Zhang Yutong will appear in the palace to steal Mengxi's pen.

Chen Chengcheng picked up the sleeping Zhang Yutong and flew to his room.

In fact, Zhang Yutong's injuries were not serious. Otherwise, how could she have escaped from Lu Xingyun, and how could she have returned to this desert after such a long journey.

The fatigue of this journey coupled with the high mental tension made Zhang Yutong fall into a coma. So far, three days have passed.

Chen Chengcheng hurriedly used his skills to heal Zhang Yutong's injuries. Ping'er and the others also went to boil medicine for Zhang Yutong. Half an hour later, Zhang Yutong finally woke up. The face is also much better.

"Mother. Tong'er was not good, so she only took back the Mengxi pen to talk. Zhang Yutong said in a weak voice.

Taking out the Mengxi pen from his arms, Zhang Yutong handed it to her mother, Chen Tingcheng.

After taking Mengxi's pen talk, Chen Tingcheng didn't even look at it, so he put it next to the bed, and then stroked Zhang Yutong's pale face and said, "I'm sorry for you." Kiri'er. If only your father were still alive. ”

Chen Tingcheng said, a crystal tear flowed down her snow-white neck.

Zhang Yutong was also surprised, in her impression, her mother Chen Chengcheng has always been that kind of cold look, and she has never seen her smile.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yutong also has a cold expression. From below, she was taught how to take revenge. So, she didn't feel anything bad. It wasn't until that day that he saw Lu Xingyun who saved him that his heart felt a ripple that he had never felt before.

Actually, what she didn't know was that Lu Xingyun was also looking for her on her way at the moment.

"Tong'er. You rest first. The mother left first. Chen Tingcheng saw that Zhang Yutong was fine, and he was also a lot more relieved.

Two days ago, after Lu Xingyun and Zhang Juncheng entered the palace to meet the emperor Zhang Zihao, they knew a lot of secrets. At this moment, they were rushing in the direction of the Great Desert of the Western Regions.

Everyone says that it is a day of March in the spring. However, this April day is also good. Except for the day of the Qingming Festival, it rained lightly. In the past few days, it can be regarded as a beautiful day. People don't feel a little lazy.

The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the green pond flows. As soon as you leave the town, you can see a vibrant scene that can only be found in nature.

Right now, there's a tavern looming at the intersection. The half-foot-square banner of the word wine fluttered back and forth in the wind near dusk.

In the tavern, there are no guests. There are only a few old square wooden tables with chopstick baskets. I don't know how many years have passed, but the wood grain on the table is gone. There was a bench that turned out to be three-legged. However, it was this three-legged stool that sat a man. An old man with a hunched back.

At the front of the tavern, a young woman in a yellow light shirt was drinking a jar of wine there. That's right, it's a jar of wine, and it's also a fine red snake gentian wine.

This red snake gentian wine is a kind of wine that can only be drunk in winter, because it is spicy enough, flavorful enough, and refreshing enough. But it was neither winter nor a cold day, and even more so a young girl, drinking such a kind of wine that only men drink in winter. Do you think it's weird?

But what is even more strange is that the rickety old man is drinking tea there. It is said to be drinking tea, but in fact, it is just cold boiled water. It's just that his tea is packed in a big wine gourd.

"Chenchen. Drink less. You see, there are guests coming. Let the guests see the joke. The rickety old man said with a smile.

"Grandpa. You can rest assured. You don't know how much I've drunk yet. The young woman named Chenchen smiled coquettishly. It's just the blush on her face, which adds some charm to her already green face.

At this time, Zhang Juncheng and Lu Xingyun had already arrived less than ten meters away from this tavern.

Lu Xingyun and Zhang Juncheng had been on the road for a day, and they were already hungry and thirsty. If it weren't for the looming display of such a wine flag waving in the wind just now. They wouldn't have gone in the opposite direction.

"The shopkeeper. Bring us two jars of good wine, and two catties of beef. Before Zhang Juncheng entered the store, he shouted loudly.

Lu Xingyun didn't speak, but just glanced at the young woman thoughtfully. Lu Xingyun always felt that this woman was a little strange.

What was strange was nothing other than that large jar of wine. There is no rule in the world that women can't drink.

Soon, two jars of wine and two catties of beef were delivered. Of course, it was all sent by the woman. And the rickety old man did not have any change due to the arrival of Lu Xingyun and Zhang Juncheng. Still, drinking the cold boiled water in his wine gourd.

"Come on. Lu Xingyun, it's done. Zhang Juncheng immediately brought himself a bowl of wine.

Lu Xingyun is naturally not easy to refuse. I opened the seal, poured myself a bowl of wine, and drank it.

"Good wine. Zhang Juncheng said happily.

This wine is indeed good, not spicy or spicy, just in season to drink.
